Solar, heliospheric, geospace, atmospheric, stellar, and planetary science are included in the meeting's scope. The meeting will be held in Mendoza, Argentina, at the foot of the Andes Mountains: "The land of Sun and good wine".</span></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#1A1A1A" face="'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><br></span></span></font></div><div>The abstract and registration pages for IAU S286 are now online, please see</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><a href="http://iaus286.iafe.uba.ar/">http://iaus286.iafe.uba.ar/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Please note that the deadline for Early Bird Registration and IAU Travel Grant Support application is 15 April 2011.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div></div></span></div><div>
